Abstract
Study Background: The research presented titled “Elemental analysis of liquid samples by laser induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS): Challenges and potential experimental strategies” by Keerthi K, Sajan D. George, Suresh D. Kulkarni, Santhosh Chidangil and Unnikrishnan V.K. focuses on advancing the capabilities of laser induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) for elemental analysis in liquid samples. The review addresses the challenges inherent in achieving accurate detection of trace elements due to issues like splashing, plasma cooling, and shorter plasma lifetimes, which are critical factors affecting the reliability and sensitivity of LIBS in liquid environments.
Research Goals and Hypotheses: The primary goal of this review is to consolidate and critically evaluate the experimental strategies and techniques developed to enhance the performance of LIBS in liquid samples. The hypothesis is that through innovative experimental configurations and refined sampling techniques, the sensitivity and accuracy of liquid LIBS can be significantly improved, facilitating its application in diverse fields.
Results and Discoveries:
- The review highlights significant advancements in experimental configurations and sampling techniques that have improved the sensitivity and detection limits of LIBS in liquid samples.
- It showcases comparative studies demonstrating enhanced performance in elemental analysis with reduced variability and improved detection limits.
- The review also provides a critical assessment of the challenges and benefits associated with different experimental strategies, offering valuable guidance for future research and development
